Or movie, TV series, book, whatever. Obviously, a GOOD bit of media of course XD

Basically, when you think of a game or whatever that you really enjoyed playing, how it felt to experience it for the first time. For me, I get that feeling for every Disgaea game. I enjoy that feeling of experiencing the story yes, but also starting off with next to nothing, and not knowing quite what to expect, working towards getting better and better stuff until you're powerful. Starting a fresh save can help you re-experience it, but it's never quite the same as the first time around.

Call it nostalgia, but that's not exactly right since it applies to games you might just be starting too. Close enough though.

What games/etc do you wish you could re-experience, and what ones are you looking forward to in the future? For me it's Disgaea D2 (coming soon), and the next Fallout and TES (Single player specifically).

Playing Metal Gear Solid for the first time blew my mind, and playing it today it still has a hold over me. It was a massive roller coaster of plot twists and emotion that I've never fully been able to experience in any other game.

On the flip side, experiencing a new game doesn't always mean you'll love it right away. When I first played Dark Souls I got really frustrated playing it to the point I almost gave up on it. I didn't, and now it's my favourite PS3 game by far.

As for music, I wish I could go back in time and listen to Pink Floyd's The Wall for the first time. I get jealous of people who are listening to it for the first time, because that first listen is the best listen, imo.

For me, a piece of music can blow me away far more than a game can. I think the game that I had the best experience with was ME2 (at the risk of sounding cliche). Wish I could experience it for the first time again.

THUG, Xenogears and Ocarina of Time. Each one kinda redefined gaming for me at the time, probably because I played them years apart, but on their own they were game changers from what I was used to.

Going from Dragon Quest on NES to a PS1, just amazing blow your mind with all the shit to do game like Xenogears was one thing. And A Link to the Past to 3D Zelda is fairly obvious, but after playing THPS and then getting this open-world skatey game, that was just mind blowing. I'm not a huge skateboarding guy, but I definitely played that game more than any other growing up. A lot of the enjoyment came from the soundtrack too.

Haven't got a similar feeling from any other games, and those just aren't as good as they used to be. It's me that changed though.

I'd love to experience Halo 3 all over again. I beat the campaign well over 5 times with various people, forged so many maps, played hours of custom games, and spent a good chunk of my freshman year tea bagging and trash talking chumps online. I have yet to find such an awesome community!

For music, I'd love to go back and experience the Slim Shady LP again. It was the first CD I owned, back when I was like 8 years old. That disc alone exposed me to a lot of the real world, but mostly drugs, which I had no idea existed before listening to that. It's a shame my mom went through a Jesus-freak stage and broke the cd, saying something about it being the devil's music

For movies, the pokemon movie by far. Loved watching that with my dad back in the day before my parents split.

I feel this way every time that I play a new Kingdom Hearts or Zelda game. For KH, I am filled with curiosity as to how the plot will advance next. Absolutely will feel like this once our beloved KH3 is released. As for Zelda games, I think of what different items are going to be in it and which ones that will be returning.

I definitely agree about the experience of playing a new game for the first time. That feeling of exploring a whole new world and just seeing what's around every corner, whether it's the early Pokemon games or something as huge as a GTA game. Exploring everywhere that first time always sticks in my memory and there's a lot of nostalgia that goes with that. However, I'd say that for films and music, the latter in particular, it's actually better not the first time, but a little later on when you reach that point of really immersing yourself in it. The first time obviously has to leave an impression but I think you tend to explore fully later on as you become more familiar with it. Film has more of an ability to leave a lasting impression from the first time I suppose. Same with a good book - there are a lot of books I've only read once but still remember vividly, whereas films, songs, and games are a lot easier to play over and over again.
